Ingredients

For the meatballs:

1 pound lean ground turkey
2 green onions chopped
1 large egg
1/2 cup almond flour
¼ cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt

For the sauce:

¼ cup soy sauce see note
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons chili crisp
1 green onion chopped

Instructions

To make the meatballs:

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and combine well with your hands or a wooden spoon.
Use a large cookie scoop to scoop out 12 evenly sized meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes or until turkey is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Serve with dipping sauce.

To make the sauce:

While the meatballs are baking, add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
For serving, either toss the meatballs in the sauce or serve the sauce in small bowls for dipping.

Notes

I like to serve these with cauliflower rice + our Asian cucumber salad or Szechuan green beans.

You can make smaller meatballs if desired. Just roll into smaller balls and bake for less time. Turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. We use this meat thermometer to test.

For the sauce, if you're sensitive to salt, try reduced sodium soy sauce. If you want the full flavor, go for regular. Either works, just depends on your preference.
